It was not thoroughly discussed. The size of script of han/hangul exceed 10000. Others are not! The size of script affects the ACE encoding efficiency. They are already suggested in my draft. no one cited that in this list yet. > > > Most webhost/mailhost names are seldom typed in , but *clicked* > through > > from web pages or email clients. official long biz names are welcome > in IDN. > > Irrelevant.

ACE IDN will be used by and exposed to over 6 billions, not only to handful of us engineers, but also to children, elders, educated, non-educated from various backgrounds. see this: bq--wqeqwkejwkqeqwewq bq--ewqeqweeqww bq--qweuiwqueqwiueoqwueoqwueoqwueqwueoqwueqwewq bq--weqweqweqweqweqweeqweqewqw For long CJK names, compression ratio reach 30%, and for frequent names up to 40%.
